Instructions

  1. Roast the tomatoes using either the oven method or the stove method. (I have described both the methods above).

  2. Allow the roasted tomatoes to cool down. 

  3. Roughly chop them. Add them in a blender and blend till a smooth paste is formed.

  4. Take a wok or a deep bottomed pan. Add oil and heat it.

  5. On a low flame, add the butter. Heat it for a few seconds.

  6. Add chopped garlic and green chili. Saute for a minute (Keep the flame low).

  7. Add Italian seasoning and basil. Mix and cook for a few seconds.

  8. Add the prepared roasted tomato sauce. Cook it, on a low flame, for 5-6 minutes.

  9. Add salt, pepper and mint leaves. Mix well and cook for a minute.

  10. Now add the pasta and water. Mix nicely. Cover with a lid and cook pasta for around 10 minutes.
